He was preceded in death by his parents—father George Steffan and stepmother Gloria Steffan; mother Dorothy "Dot" Ozelie and stepfather James Ozelie—as well as by his beloved son Gregory Steffan.

George's life was rooted in strong family bonds. He shared a lasting friendship with his loving ex-wife and best friend, Elizabeth Steffan of  Empire. Together they raised three children.

He is survived by his daughters: Suzan Steffan (Michael Light) of Jasper; Jennifer Pitts (Shane Pitts) of Jasper; and Kelly Kunis Faber of San  Diego, California. George was a devoted father whose presence and support were constants in their lives.

George is remembered fondly by his siblings: sisters Charlene Troutwine and Marlene Adrian of La Porte, Indiana, and brother James Steffan (Brenda Steffan) of Monticello, Indiana. Their shared memories span decades and reflect the enduring strength of their familial ties.

He was a proud grandfather to Dustin Steffan of Saint Paul, Minnesota; Sara Hurley (Kati Hurley) of Dora, Alabama; Samantha "Renn"  Steffan of Garden Grove, California; Caleb Steffan of Jasper; Megan Royster (Bass Royster) of Jasper; Saphira Finch of Jasper; Carson  Steffan of Jasper; Carter Finch of Jasper; Ava Steffan of Jasper; Skyler and Stella Faber of San Diego; and Elijah Pitts of Jasper. His joy  multiplied with the arrival of his great-grandchild Fisher Royster of Jasper. George held each member of his growing family close to his heart.

He was a loving Uncle to four Nephews, James "J.T." (Kristy) Steffan; Chris (Mary) Steffan; Kenny (Susie) Uylaki; James "Jimmy" Baron and  two Nieces, Candy Steffan (Dennis Shei); Cheryl Uylaki (Joshua Miles)

He also cherished the special connection he had with Alexis Vines of Florence and Adam McGaha of Jasper—beloved family friends who  held a meaningful place in his life.

Those who knew George will remember him as a very kind, giving, and loving man whose warmth touched many lives. His legacy lives on  through the generations he helped shape and the relationships he nurtured throughout his life. His memory will continue to shine brightly in
the hearts of his family and friends.
